For all the 10mm fan boys...

Good info.

Yeah I have no need for a locker, there's a safe in my office I can leave a gun or to in. My house, office, and RTSP are all exempt locations for me.

It not making cold air. It basically looks like an outdoor split system condenser, that the compressor runs in reverse. Instead of an A coil inside in an air handler it has a heat exchanging coil inside of the unit the pool water circulates through to absorb the heat. It blows the cold it absorbs from the water, out of the top of the unit via the condenser fan motor. Pretty much the opposite of what a split system cooling condenser would do. Pretty smart way to heat pool water actually. And I was unaware this even existed until I read this thread and began researching them. Seem to be much more popular down south. After looking at all the exploited views of this unit I found online, I'm pretty sure I could work on it. So the magic questions are what type of refrigerant is in it? and are you in N. Jersey above 78, and west of 287? Or close to those borders? If your close, and it just needs a pound of refrigerant (I deal with already) I'll charge it up for you if that's all it needs. I work with R-410A, R-22, R-422B, R-422D, R-12,. I can work with other refrigerants but I don't have any other bottles currently than what I listed above. If you need 2 lbs of R134A or R404B I will have to shell out of pocket to buy a 30lb bottle, that I'm going to be stuck with for a long time. That will cost me more than the service call will make me. Early in the thread you mentioned "freon" so I'm assuming it's R-22 or R-12. The other popular refrigerants listed above aren't Freon's, they're newer type blended refrigerants.

I can bring my guns to work then to RTSP, I'm the owner and my office is a quarter mile away from RTSP.

Or the TXV is bad and not opening if it has one. That will cause it to shut off quick on low pressure. It's a condition called "hunting".

I have worked on one geothermal system in my career. And installed two with a crew of guys when I worked as an apprentice for someone. Sure you can buy a Guage set anyone can. The act of attaching it to the unit without that card in your wallet for either type 2 or universal EPA 608 certification. Is where the law is being broken. It's a $27K fine from the EPA if caught. The person that turns you in gets a $10K bounty. Plus if you don't know what your looking at, you may as well be trying to read Greek. Not like it's rocket science, but you need to know the super heat scale, to understand what you're looking to achieve. I don't think you would have a hard time understanding it and I could probably explain it to you in about 5 minutes. But your an engineer I'm sure you probably know 85% of what I do in book knowledge anyway. It's also dangerous to mess with Refrigerant that's sitting in the unit at 300+psi. Not too hard to get a really bad burn on your hand in about one second.

Most condensers have a high and low pressure switch. The only way to tell if it's going off on high or low pressure is to have a Guage set hooked up to the liquid and vapor lines. And only a guy with an EPA certification can do that. If I knew more about them I would help you out. But I don't want to marry myself to a pool heater/heat pump. There's gotta be someone that works on them. I have installed and serviced tons of heat pumps, and quite a few gas fired pool heaters. Being a master plumber and a Master HVAC contractor that's what we do. But I've never seen or touched a heat pump, that has a water heat exchanger before. Sounds scary to me too lol.

It's pretty, just enough, not too much. Very nice sir.

Razor tip whitetail.

This was when I completely gave up on mechanicals. Shwacker head in this picture, hard to see but the blades are both bent almost 90° from where they should be. Rib cage did that. Fixed blade broadheads can't fail. If you are mind set on using mechanicals, I highly recommend staying away from rage, and look at grim reaper. The quality and reliability is much better.

I stopped using rage, had too many problems with them, and other mechanical broadheads. I started using G5 Montec's. They are awesome, no issues whatsoever. Easy to re sharpen as well. And they kill!

My sisters Boyfriend just started a hive this spring in Byram twp. Sussex County. There's a lot to know before you get into it. Mites, predator protection,how to handle them, ect. Also make sure your municipality allows bee keeping. Bergen County is probably a no go in a residential neighborhood I'm willing to bet. Make sure there's no ordinance against it before you go any further.

My Xbow shoots a bolt at 350fps, complete pass through is pretty much a guarantee. That's a big hole, that a bunch of razor sharp edges on the broadhead makes. I have zero doubt that a bear is a going to die quick with a well placed shot. A lot of other states have bow seasons for bruins, not too many issues with it. Nothing I've shot with my bow has lived yet.

Nope, can't happen now. It's permanently part of the game code. It's no longer a temporary 5 year season, the governor can end. Once it's signed in the coming weeks that's it bear season is set in stone. Same as deer season every year. The antis can protest till they're blue in the face, and there's nothing the next governor can do about it. Only the game council, and DEP commissioner together can end the hunt. And since the Federation of Sportsmen’s clubs has two seats on the council, that's not happening. Bear hunting in NJ is here to stay. The only thing that can end the hunt during a season is if the annual goal # of harvested animals is satisfied prior to the end of the season. That hasn't happened once since 2003 when the first hunt took place. And the last 2 December seasons less than half of the 500 bear goal was met. This is the reason for a second early October season.

I think most municipalities are doing the online check at this point. Some towns may still be doing the old fashion $18 money order manual check. If you gave them an $18 money order, then that town is still doing it old school. Which takes longer for them to get the answer back, than the $20 online check you do yourself from home will.

I just looked at 2014 regs. It's 7 days long, and my area is closed, area 10. Could be different this year though. Cool part about fall is you can take a hen, Jake, or tom. In spring, can only take males. And the hunting hours are full day, instead of half days in early spring.

It's possible, I haven't gotten the new digest yet I heard it came out this week. But it's usually really short and they don't respond to the calls too much in the fall. In the spring they're mating and you can call them in pretty easily.

Welcome, from a fellow RTSP shooter. I live in Sussex County, but less than a mile from the Morris border at the end of my street.

Fall turkey? That's a short season. Two days long i think. Spring is multiple weeks. I usually hunt spring. Week E which is all the Saturdays. I'm more of a bow deer hunter myself. But turkey is fun if you can find them. The success rate for a harvest is really low. September goose is almost here. Way more fun imo.

Honda, Toyota, or if you want a cool beater buy an early 2000's Subaru wrx. All wheel drive, 4door, and turbo. Pretty hard to look cool driving a Toyota Corolla just saying. But that not always important to everyone.

Awesome! Maybe Santa will be good to me this year. It's on my list.

Well it passed! 9-0 can't wait till next year! Archery Bear while they're still out of the dens! State panel OKs plan for bear archery hunt in 2016 By BRUCE A. SCRUTON [email protected] 8/12/15 UPPER FREEHOLD — The state Fish and Game Council gave its approval to a new black bear management plan on Tuesday. The plan, which would create an archery season for bears, needs only the Department of Environmental Protection commissioner’s signature and publication to become formal state policy. The 9-0 vote came during a meeting of the council and followed a public comment period and formal public hearing in early June. Once Commissioner Bob Martin signs the document, it will be published in the New Jersey Register. Martin said publicly last spring he supports the new management plan and intends to sign the document, but department spokesman Larry Hajna said Tuesday no formal signing ceremony has yet been scheduled. Although the management plan goes into effect with publication, only part of the plan will have an effect on this year’s black bear hunt, scheduled for Dec. 7-12 to coincide with the six-day shotgun deer season. Under the plan, state Division of Fish and Wildlife biologists can add four days to the shotgun season the following week if not enough bears are harvested during the regular season. Biologists already had the authority to stop the season early if target numbers were met, but had no authority to extend the season if minimum numbers were not met. The Fish and Game Council sets the state’s game code, which outlines seasons and bag limits for the state, and this year’s code is already published. With the management plan formalized, the bow season can be scheduled for next October and will include archery-only days and a muzzle-loading rifle season. The plan notes that more bears are active in October, which should increase the number of bears taken during the hunting season. The management plan also includes a fifth bear hunting zone just to the south of Interstate 80 and east of Interstate 287. West and north of those highways are the four zones where bear hunting is now allowed. Although bears have been seen in all parts of the state, the northwestern corner of New Jersey has the highest concentration of bruins

I belong to both. RTSP is close and I shoot a lot of handguns. I test fire rifles there I built. It's warm in the winter, and dry in the rain. But only 25 yard on range 1. Range 2 is 15 handgun only. Member with rifle is $425 for the year. And I get all the member discounts. The virtual simulator is awesome, as well as all the training courses offered. Members only on sat and sun from 8am-10am. Usually no lines. During the week members jump non members waiting for a port. They also offer gunsmith services on premises, and have a great selection of firearms in stock. The guys that work there will jump through hoops to make you happy. You get 5 guest passes per year with your membership. CR is great for long range rifle and busting clays if that's your thing. They have a handgun and archery range as well. Membership is less than RTSP, but it's a longer ride for me. So I don't shoot there as often. The RO's have calmed down as well, but they still have specific rules about flagging open chambers. No big deal once you get used to it.
